Christian Electoral Community

The Christian Electoral Community (CWG) is a conservative political party in Austria that was founded on 8 December 1989 by the right-wing faction of the Austrian People's Party, which deemed the party "too leftist". The party supported social conservatism and the involvement of Christianity in politics, and its tenets included protecting the environment (which it saw as a creation of God), opposition to abortion, non-interventionism, and the prohibition of pornography, genetic engineering, nuclear energy, the European Union, heavy freight transportation, and euthanasia.
